We have CMUSIC, it tends to have two annoying traits that may have been
fixed (our distribution is ancient).  One is that it is tremendously
inefficient.  Execing a program for each note makes things real modular,
but it would be alot better if they'd use exec rather than invoking a shell
everytime.  The other cute thing is that if you overdrive your digital output,
rather than clipping, it just omits those samples causing the time period
to shrink.  I've got a little front end that makes entering the scores
a little faster, not graphical, but getting there.  I can however use the
C preprocessor.
